Time Machine Rebuild from SOFIA & Co Tattoo Machines

02 Sep

This was a Dany Fowler Time Machine that Belonged to a friend of mine, he broke the rear screw off in the top of the deck of the frame – and just didn’t have time to repair it. I got the machine and immediately started to carve away at the brass. We did some oxidation process on the machine to give it a blue tarnished look – then stained it with some darker colors. Currently I am polishing the frame and re-covering the coils. It should be finished in a day or so. This is a REAL Time Machine, not a knock off or replica. This machine is not for sale. Click Here

Zaq Weaver

Saw this guy on a tattoo forum, checked out his work. Really sharp stuff. So I dropped him an email – nice guy too, def. not full of himself. Check out his work – hope to see more of him in this industry.

I try to look for tattoo artists that are really clean (art wise) and have some good color and grey pieces that you can look at as a newer tattoo artist and get a feel for composition and balance, as well as get a feel for the quality you should be striving for.

Arizona Tattoo Expo in 2 days

28 Apr

The countdown is getting serious at http://www.aztattooexpo.com, where the green digital countdown clock is running as we speak. The website didn’t have much information – but my good friend Joe from Top Rocker Tattoo in Glendale told me that he is going to attend a few seminars with Steve Soto, Mike Demasi and Bob Tyrell. Upon further review of the site I noticed that there is a tab on there for Seminars – If anyone is going to this thing, or has gone before would love to hear / see your comments.

Cecil Porter – Check him out

28 Apr

If you don’t know who Cecil Porter is, you need to check out his web page. If you are a new tattoo artist or an apprentice you should definitely take a look. Cecil has very nice layout and use of positive and negative space, he can contrast his colors perfectly – and the fact that he knows how to use a camera and color correct his tattoos just makes the awesome tattoos look that much better.
